Is UK wage inflation becoming a risk?

Minimal economic impact from Grexit

The square root recovery (page 2)

Some five years on from the world economy’s initial rebound in 2010 and it is clear that we are operating in a growth environment best described by a square root sign.

The initial U-shaped upswing has given way to a world of flat 2.5% growth, well below the performance prior to the financial crisis.

Near-term we see signs of better activity in the developed world with US consumers spending again and Europe and Japan reviving.

These trends bode well for the second half of the year and may continue into next if emerging market export growth responds.

However, the comparison with the pre-crisis world highlights the absence of a global locomotive and means that we are unlikely to break with the square-root recovery.

In some more labour intensive-sectors, wage inflation is already alarmingly high.

Despite the mounting evidence that wage inflation may become a problem, the Bank of England remains relaxed.

This may change later this year as more evidence emerges, but at the same time, with current inflation barely above zero, can the Bank really hike interest rates in 2015?

The prophesies of Delphi: would Grexit topple EM? (page 10)
